Another hectic morning...

I just don't understand what's happening to me! Maybe it's because of my birthday?? Getting a year older is doing a number on me. This morning I did my mental checklist and still managed to forget something! My purse. I normally don't take my purse out of the car. Even yesterday afternoon as I was taking Bea out of the car I had my purse on my arm and I thought to myself, why am I taking my purse inside? But did I stop and throw it back in the car? No. So I don't have my purse. Fabulous! At least I have my cell right? Geez....

On the way to daycare Bea started talking about the 'Angel' again. And how she has to share her shoes. I was trying to explain that in the Wizard of Oz those girls are witches. I had the soundtrack of Wicked in the car with me so I whipped out the pamphlet and showed her the picture of Glenda and Elphaba (did I spell that right?) standing together singing, 'one short day in the emerald city...' Beatrice was enthralled. She just looked at it the whole way to daycare. She even wanted to take it inside with her to show everyone and since Mary considered it a book she got to keep it with her. I hope it isn't ruined by the end of the day. Oh well.

Also this morning Beatrice was helping me get dressed and she opened up the cupboard under my sink to find my lint roller because she said I had hair on me. When she couldn't find it she went to her bathroom and pulled the one out from under her sink and then handed it to me. She's such a cutie.

(Speaking of bathrooms I'd like to change up her bathroom. It's currently painted navy blue and has a beach/lighthouse theme. I'd like to make it more kid cool - keeping the wall color of course. Any suggestions?? I've looked online everywhere and have yet to find something really cute to change it to.)

Yesterday morning as we were walking out the door Bea said: "I no hoochie mama!" I was like, WHAT?! Then she said it again and when I asked her where she got that from she said Amanda. (Which is one of the teachers at her school.) I think Amanda says that every now and then when Bea has short shorts on. She jokes that she has her hoochie mama shorts on. Not sure how I feel about that.

The other day Bea was pretending she was calling Adam. She was like, 'Adam? How you doin'? Just chillin.'' it was so cute.

Chaos.

This morning as I was doing my mental checklist. (See a couple blogs ago.) I realized I didn't purchase any more milk bags! I literally have one left. I was actually a teensy bit early so I thought: 'No problem, I'll just drop the girls off, run to Savemart right there and pray they have milk bags.' The first big light I hit is blinking, and I'm behind a long line of cars, no way to turn back. I finally make it to the daycare with some other minor traffic setbacks. Bea is acting clingy. She finally gets distracted and I head to the store. I go to their piddly baby section (it shares and aisle with dog and cat food. Gross.) Anyways. I'm frantically scanning for the Lansinoh milk bags... anything! I see Advent lids and little cups - sold separately mind you. Fine. Whatever. The clock is ticking and I'd like to try to make it to work on time. I grab those and head to the check out. No one is at their station. I go to the self check out. The freakin' computer doesn't recognize the items! ARE YOU KIDDING ME!? The one girl that is working is working on tying balloons together. She says: 'I'll have to help you out.' Then she just stands there working on the damn balloons! I try not to freak. It's not her fault that I forgot to buy milk bags this weekend and therefore am running late this morning. To her credit she did call for help. So to pass the time I start to look for my wallet. It's no where to be found in my purse! ARE YOU KIDDING ME!? I then realize I left it in the car - long story. The other girl comes up to me. I say: "I left my wallet in the car, but I need those I will be right back." She said ok. I race out to my car and grab my wallet. I race back inside the store and the girl is gone! ACK! Then I see her coming around the corner... with a price tag. I guess the items were discontinued and therefore the computer kicked them out of the system. So all this to say, I had a very interesting morning. I hope the damn milk cups or whatever work. Oh, and I was five minutes late to work! GAH!

Jazzy Sunday

This morning we had my parents over for a waffle breakfast. I had jazz playing and the weather was so nice we were able to eat outside. It was so relaxing.

Currently I'm working on bows for the Mother's Day craft fair on the 8th. But I'd much rather be outside planting flowers or at the Renaissance Fair eating a funnel cake...

Gotta run.

Update: Beatrice and I had lunch outside this afternoon. Izak finally moved us out of our storage space and into our shed. Yay for that! Now he's out golfing. I was able to revamp all my current clips onto colorful background paper with our labels on them. I really need to make a Joann's or Michael's run but it will have to wait till Wednesday... ugh. Now I better clean my stuff up so we'll have some space to eat dinner. I'm wondering how long the house will stay clean... hmmm. :)

Fairies!

Here are some photos of my girls as fairies! JC Penny has numerous events throughout the year and this is one of them. Beatrice did it last year and it was a little hectic. She hardly stood still and the outfit was too big, etc. This year I debated if I should do them or not. I just recently purchased the membership and thought to myself, why not! I'm so glad I did them, they turned out so cute! We just took these pictures on Wednesday. I can't wait to get them and frame them!

Bea was such a ham, she wanted to take some pictures by herself! She posed this way all on her own! ANTM here she comes... (haha)

This morning Beatrice woke up crying about an orange bug. I asked what the orange bug was doing and she said: 'Getting gas.' I really don't know where she comes up with these things!

Last night she was saying: 'scary angel in fire! girl killed her!' I was like: 'Whaat? What did the girl look like? What color was her hair?' (I asked the hair question thinking I could figure out the cartoon character.) Beatrice said, 'girl with orange hair killed her.' I thought maybe the Little Mermaid? Bea calls the mean people in shows angels, not sure why. I've tried telling her that angels are good but she doesn't seem to understand that. She was calling the stepmother in Cinderella angel too.. 'angel scare me!' Anyways. I asked Mary her daycare teacher and she said that it was the Wizard of Oz that they were watching! Glenda the good witch with her orange hair. And the wicked witch of the west throwing her fire balls. Is Bea confusing angel with witch??

This weekend I'm having a little party to celebrate my birthday early. Many of my friends were going to be busy the weekend of my birthday so I just moved it up. It's gonna be really low key, pizza, board games, kids ... I'm looking forward to it.

Then I've got to make bows like crazy! Maddy Bea Baby will be at a local craft fair on May 8th. Linds will be making tutus! (a new product for us.) I can't wait to start working on the bows again! I just hope I can find something to keep Beatrice occupied. Otherwise it's gonna be late nights for me! :(

4 months!

Camille is four months old today! I can't believe how fast the time is flying by. :( I want her to stay my little baby!! :(

Last night as I was trying to upload the video of Millie, Bea was sitting with Millie on the floor I turned to look at them and I saw Bea trying to pick Millie up! Of course I ran over there. I didn't want to see what would happen next, I could only imagine Bea accidentally dropping Camille on her head... Bea was very deteremind to hold her. She kept saying: "I want to hold her!" So I let her. Bea got up on the sofa and then I put Camille in her arms. Bea was so happy! She even said: "Take picture Mama!" Which I did. :) So cute!

As I was crawling into bed with Bea she had her little fists balled up and was saying: "You want a knuckle sandwich Mama?" At first I couldn't understand what she was saying and then I was like.. 'where she get that from?' I then remembered that someone says that in Annie. When I asked Bea where she heard that from she said, Amanda. (One of her daycare teachers.) It was the cutest thing!

There she rolls!

Camille is rolling over! I've yet to actually get it on video. I'll be filming her and as soon as I turn it off she'll roll. Silly girl! Here's a little clip of her trying to roll over and some of her smiles!

Did I forget anything?

Every morning as I'm driving away from the house I do a verbal check list of things I need for the day. Millie's milk? Check. My lunch? Check. My pump? Check. This morning I was going through my list and Beatrice said: "Mama! You forgot your lunch!" I said, "No, it's right here! But thank you for reminding me!" How cute is that!? I love that girl so much! This morning I was putting my lunch into a bag, chips, got the sandwich out of the fridge. Bea was standing right at the fridge and she saw a bottle of water in there. She pulls it out and says: "Here Mama!" She can be such a good helper. She's so smart I can't get over it.
